How is the cross sectional shape of a glacial valley different from a valley formed by stream erosion?

1 answer:

5 0

A glacial valley cross-sectional shape is a U shape whereas a stream valley is usually a V shape. The U shape comes from the scouring action of the alpine glaciers which carries rocks with it which can abrade the walls of the valley and the glacier occupies the whole valley so scours out such a shape whereas the stream cuts down and water washes in from the sides of the valley into the stream or river creating the V shape.

Which planet is approximately four times larger than the diameter of Venus on a scale model?

-BARSIC- [3]

The planets refers to a body which orbit or rotate around the sun.

There are 8 planets, namely; Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

The diameter of each planets is given below:

Mercury = 4,879 km (3031.67 mi)

Venus = 12,104 km (7521 mi

Earth = 12,756 km (7926 mi)

Mars = 6779 km (4212.275 mi)

Jupiter = 142,984 km (88,846 mi)

Saturn = 120,536 km (74897.6 mi),

Uranus= 50,724 km (31,518.43 mi),

Neptune = 49,244 km (30598.8 mi).

<em>Diameter of venus × 4</em>

= 12,104 km × 4

= 48,416 km

Therefore, the planet which is approximately four times larger than the diameter of Venus on a scale model is Neptune.

2.Compression,

3.Bending.

Explanation:

Tension- The force that is exerted when physical objects come in contact with each other.

Compression- Compression is the application of balanced inward ("pushing") forces to different points on a material or structure.

Bending- A bending force is a force that is applied to a length of material.
